Congressman MacArthur’s Leads Letter Urging Congress to Restore the Medical Expense Deduction
Today,
"For months, I've negotiated to improve this bill for my constituents and was able to successfully restore the property tax deduction--but my fight is not over," said Congressman
Full text of the letter:
As you work to finalize and pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we urge you to maintain the deductibility of medical expenses.
Nine million American households claim the Medical Expense Deduction, and for these families, this deduction can represent a meaningful source of relief during the uncertainty and difficulty that medical conditions can bring. Some of the unfortunate outcomes of Obamacare have been higher medical costs, higher insurance premiums, higher deductibles, higher copays - these costs hit families hard, especially seniors. On behalf of our constituents, who badly need the tax relief that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will provide, and especially on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of senior citizens who live in the districts we represent, we urge you to maintain the Medical Expense Deduction, and to send us a final version swiftly so we can deliver the relief we promised the American people.
